For a long time, when the folio keyboard was activated the on-screen soft keyboard would automatically disappear. At some point, it stopped doing that. I can't find any setting to restore that method of operation.
Any one know how to set it to do that?
TIA
Well, I figured it out. In choose keyboards you turn "hardware keyboard" off. Which seems logically backwards of what you'd expect. But with hardware keyboard off, the software keyboard disappears when the hardware is active and vice versa.
That is odd. good to know if mine disappears.

does anyone know how to disable the automically popping up keypad?
There was a thread kicking around in this forum somewhere... it's something to do with downloading a "blank" virtual keyboard map to your device and setting that to the default input method. Then when it pops up you see nothing (as it pops up nothing!)...
Thnkx CrArc. But i think this method is somewhat to radical for me. I still use the keypad and in some occasions the keypad is the most easy way to do your thing.
I'm looking for a solution that disables the keypad automatically, but when I want to use it it's still available.
Hello all,
I just unpacked my brandnew prime. When booting up I could use the trackpad during the initial install, but the keyboarddock did not work. When finished with the initial install, I could not use the dock keyboard (except for the trackpad) in Android. In the lower right corner there is an icon for the dock (and the prime is charging through the dock). When I select a textbox, there is an additional icon (a keyboard icon) in the lower right corner, but not a single key (not even the top row) works...
Am I missing something or is this dock broken? I have hard reset the prime several times now and undocked and docked several times and am out of options.
Does anyone know of a fix (other than return the tab for RMA/refund)?
Hi
Go to Settings - Language & Keyboard
Verify that Asus Keyboard is set as default keyboard.
Hello Pnoire,
I have checked that the asus keyboard is the default. I have also tried setting the android keyboard as default. I then get a message about the hardware keyboard not being used. I tried toggling between the android and the asus one several times, but all keys remain dead. When I loose the mouse (happens after I change the keyboard), I can get it back by closing and opening tablet + dock. The keys remain non funtional however.
Hi dannykix
I don't know what you can do, now. It could be a hardware problem!
I contacted Asus support, they indicated that it is most likely hardware related. As I just opened the package the tablet is returned to the supplier as a DOA. I hope the new one arrives a bit faster then this one.
Case closed.
As you guys all know, the LG G2 doesn't come with a physical keyboard. Ever since I paired my home bluetooth keyboard with my G2, it seems to think there's a physical keyboard. Whenever i reboot the device, physical keyboard is turned on and the soft keyboard doesn't pop out when I need it. I have to keep disabling the physical keyboard manually.
This is quite an annoyance, which i don't think is limited to the G2 as I previously noticed this on another Chinaphone running JB. Then I had worked around this by using the Hackers Keyboard from Google Play that had a setting to pop out the soft keyboard even when physical keyboard is present.
What can I do to have the physical keyboard not be enabled by default?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I just typed "dill" in my shopping list, and when I hit space, it magically changed to "fill"
Fortunately I was able to find the settings icon on the keyboard and figure out how to turn it off. This was about the umpteenth time something like this happened to me, but I wasn't absolutely sure it was the keyboard doing it till now. Hopefully it will stop now. If not, I guess I'll switch to the google keyboard.
Are there more annoying features I haven't run into yet?
If you want your keyboard to recognize the word dill, you have to click on dill when it shows at the top of keyboard then it should recognize it.
I've been googling and cruising a number of forums, surely there must be a logical way to get rid of this annoying thing. I am unrooted, locked BL. I have a BT keyboard. Swiftkey installed as system app by default, and I have gboard installed, too. I have an annoying keyboard shortcut of space + shift that brings up the Select input method screen. Seems it's an annoying problem, but without root no easy way to fix?
I disabled swiftkey, and I see the keyboard shortcut helper lists the shift + space shortcut, but there's no way to disable or change it to something else.
Has anyone else with a BT keyboard encountered and solved this? Maybe it's my ebay keyboard and some brief lag that interprets capital letters as my sending the space + shift shortcut. It's nearly impossible to take notes with this thing because the input menu pops up every 10 seconds or so. I'll be travelling to the mainland later this week and would love to find a way to fix this because I want to use the tablet and keyboard to take notes at a conference.
Thank you very much for any help you may have. I thought every answer was on google, but this one is not popping up....
